Shannon S
Shannon was my AQA A-Level Philosophy tutor and honestly, words cannot describe how wonderful and beneficial she was to my achievements within this subject! I was really struggling with philosophy and she helped me increase my grade significantly so I could secure a place in Durham University. She created these incredibly helpful PowerPoint presentations which simplified complex concepts into simple, coherent explanations. Also, she provided an amazing 25 marker essay structure and explained how each criteria within the mark scheme could be obtained. Shannon helped revitalise my love for philosophy, which had dwindled a due to exams and stress. I initially felt reluctant to share my opinions within my class because I felt my knowledge on philosophy was not strong enough, but, with Shannon, I felt comfortable and confident to share my opinions, question philosophers and deeply explore topics. We have had many delightful and thorough philosophical conversations and debates. I am forever grateful she was philosophy tutor! Thank you Shannon! :)

Ms. M has been absolutely fantastic. She breaks down complex topics into clear, manageable parts, making even the most challenging content much more approachable. Her ability to tie everything together across the course has really helped me deepen my understanding and develop my evaluative skills. Each session is structured and insightful, and she always offers detailed explanations that go beyond surface-level learning. I’ve come away from every lesson feeling more confident and prepared. Highly recommend!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child's school follows the Curriculum for Excellence. How can a tutor add the philosophical depth needed for university?
This is a common concern we hear from parents in Scotland. Whilst the CfE provides a fantastic broad base, a one-to-one tutor can provide the focused, deep exploration that really builds critical thinking. They can work with your child on specific areas of interest, introduce more complex texts, and practice constructing the sophisticated arguments that competitive university courses look for.
We're aiming for a competitive Philosophy course at Edinburgh or St Andrews. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have first-hand experience of the application process. They can help your child hone their personal statement, practice interview techniques, and develop the kind of articulate, well-reasoned perspective that will make their application stand out.
Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?
We believe it’s even better. Online tutoring gives your child in Scotland access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just whoever lives locally. With interactive whiteboards, session recordings, and a relaxed home environment, students get the same quality of teaching with far greater choice and flexibility.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Philosophy tutor?
Finding the right fit is crucial, and we're here to help. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if you don't get on with your first choice of tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How are your Philosophy tutors vetted?
We take quality very seriously. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check to ensure they can provide excellent, safe, and professional tuition.
How much do online Philosophy lessons cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £15 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can we get help with specific texts for Higher or Advanced Higher Philosophy?
Yes. Whether your child is grappling with Plato's Republic or Descartes' Meditations, you can find a tutor with specific expertise in those areas. Their profile will often list their specialisms, so you can find the perfect match for the curriculum your child is studying.
How flexible are the lesson times?
Completely. You and your tutor agree on times that work for you. Whether it's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays, you can schedule sessions to fit around your family's busy life. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has everything built-in, including an interactive whiteboard, so there's no complex software to install.
How does online tutoring work for families in more remote parts of Scotland?
This is where online tutoring really shines. For families in the Highlands, the Islands, or rural areas, it removes geographical barriers completely. Your child gets the same access to top-tier university specialists as a student in Edinburgh or Glasgow, all from the comfort of home.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than Philosophy?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects, from core academics like Maths, English and the Sciences, to languages, coding, music tuition and even life skills. You can find support for every stage of your child's learning journey.
Can we get help with specific texts for Higher or Advanced Higher Philosophy?
Each tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and a description of their teaching style. This helps you get a real sense of their personality. You can also message tutors before booking to ask questions and make sure they're the right fit for your child.
